mining has a long and proud history in west virginia. for many families and communities it's not just a way to make a living, it's a way of life. the jobs they do in these mines help bring heat and electricity to millions of americans. it's a profession that's not without risks and danger. and the workers and their families know that. but their government and their employers know that they owe it to these families to do everything possible to insure their safety when they go to work each day. when i was in the senate i supported the efforts of senator byrd and rockefeller to try to improve mine safety, but it's clear more needs to be done. that's why i asked my secretary of labor and the head of mine safety and health administration to give me a preliminary report next week on what went wrong and why it went wrong so badly so we can take the stems to prevent such accidents in the future. because mining is a tradition often passed down through generations. it's not uncommon for an entire family to choose this time of work and it's not unc
